Barisan Nasional Disintergrate

Outspoken parliamentarian Chong Chieng Jen (DAP-Bandar Kuching) today accused the government of discriminating against opposition MPs by withdrawing their invitations to a workers retrenchment briefing by the Human Resources Ministry.

“There are 82 members of Parliament who represent about 40 percent of the country’s voters… by pushing us aside from the briefing, our voters are being deprived of information,” said Chong.

However, much to the disappointment of the MPs, Subramaniam said that the opposition MPS were not excluded, but the briefing was cancelled altogether, due to recent events.
